I am running Windows XP and I am not able to open a .jar file on my computer
- however I can open the file on other computers in the office running
Windows XP no problem. When I attempt to open it on mine I am redirected to
the website for windows Window and to the sites with "RegCure" and the likes.

Any suggestions?

Do you have the java runtime installed.
I think they are a Java ARchive.

.jar is probably a Java ARchive. Go here: http:\\www.java.com
